Game balls
We'd like to spread these game balls around the way Tom Brady does passes, but this week it has to go to Brady once again. The Patriots QB threw for 354 yards and a career-high six TDs, including 281 yards and five TDs in the first half. He was not without help though, as Randy Moss plucked two jump balls out of the air while being double-teamed in the end zone.
Key stat
The Patriots went 3-for-3 in the red zone and did not kick a single field goal.
